After breakfast, drive to the western entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park — Londorossi Gate (2,250 m).

After registration, you continue by vehicle to a high-altitude drop-off point (3,414 m), where your trek begins toward Shira 1 Camp.

The short and gentle hike allows your body to begin acclimatizing properly.

Distance: 4 km
Time: 1 hour

Begin drinking 3–4 liters of water daily and monitor your body carefully.

Today’s moderate trek offers incredible views across the Shira Plateau. On clear days, you may even see Mount Meru in the distance.

After lunch and rest, an acclimatization hike toward Lava Tower improves altitude adaptation.

Distance: 7 km
Time: 3–4 hours

You ascend to Lava Tower (4,600 m), an important acclimatization point. After lunch, you descend slightly to Moir Hut Camp.

This “climb high, sleep low” strategy significantly increases summit success.

Distance: 14 km
Time: 5–7 hours

Today you trek across the remote northern slopes of Kilimanjaro. The trail offers breathtaking views toward Kenya’s plains.

This section is less crowded and extremely scenic.

Distance: 12 km
Time: 5–7 hours

You continue across the northern slopes and join the Rongai Route near Third Cave Camp.

By now, your body is well acclimatized to the altitude.

Distance: 8 km
Time: 4–6 hours

Today you trek to School Hut (4,800 m), your final base camp before summit night.

Rest, hydrate, and sleep early. Tonight, your summit attempt begins.

Distance: 5 km
Time: 4–5 hours

Around midnight, you begin your ascent toward Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) — the highest point in Africa.

Each pair of climbers is closely monitored by a professional guide for safety.

After celebrating at the summit, you descend to Barafu Camp for rest before continuing to Millennium Camp.

Distance: 16 km
Time: 10–13 hours

Most accidents occur during descent. Walk carefully and follow guide instructions.

After breakfast, descend through lush rainforest to Mweka Gate, the exit of Kilimanjaro National Park.

You will receive your summit certificate and celebrate your incredible achievement.

Time: 4–5 hours

Transfer back to your hotel for a well-earned rest.

Enjoy a relaxed morning before your transfer to the airport.
